The fist punch outs are talented plays mastered by some teams' top players. So when i see them I credit the defense, that's a skill play, targeting it at high speeds. Sometimes they are punching the player though, and I wonder where they draw the line for assault!

Lamar did great, he was missing Zay, then lost Bateman, and brought them down the field like a champ. We should have been watching Josh with the ball at the end. Beat Kermit and the Empire or this is all for nothing...
While this is true, Lamar also put the ball on the ground and threw a horrendous pick in the first half. Those plays were hugely consequential - as consequential as the Andrews screw ups.
Ultimately there’s not much between these teams and we are seeing very sharp numbers in playoff nfl of course. I really have a hard time believing one team was right and one was wrong. If that’s true it’s something on a razor thin margin and I’m willing to accept that right or wrong.
1 and 10 on Buffalo 28 yard line. Andrew's drops perfectly placed ball, next play a high snap that Lamar catches then fumbled. Buffalo gets ball on +24 leads to a TD.
10-14 Point Swing.
Buffalo 3rd and 5 on Baltimore 30. Call should have been offensive PI. At worst no call and incomplete. Gives them 1st and goal, leads to a free 7.
7 Point Swing
Baltimore about to have 1st and 10 on Buffalo 40 down 5. Andrew's fumbled. Bills get 3.
6-10 Point swing
Lamar almost laid that last ball in Andrew's lap so no chance he drops it, we'll he did. Doesn't matter if it was in front of goal line there was Noone there he catches it and falls in the endzone for the tie.

Agreed. The Bills would have pushed harder if down, becoming more aggressive, using Josh feet more. Who knows. I dont think there's too much science to a game like this. Either team would have been pushing the ball down the field at the end, they just dropped the ball at the end.
Yeah, i mean the interception was one bad throw early and was kind of meaningless. The fumble, sure, but again a bit fluky.
Listen - i get all that. The numbers are tight these days. And obviously i go overboard as a bitching/venting session. I’m pretty quiet when stuff is my way just because i don’t care to waste the time to bitch. Now when a road team goes 0-3 turnover margin, gets a bruuutal PI call that directly gave oppo points, has that fluke drop, i truly believe it was the right side. Does it win 53% of the time, 65% - i don’t know. You get your money in all the time at 60/40, 70/30 in poker and lose. I get that’s part of it and you just keep going. You see it in poker too. Guys are the greatest poker players in the world for a year or 2, but really they got breaks. And dude better than them loses and people think he “sucks” but really just circumstances on small sample sizes.
I do believe sometimes there is a clear right side that loses (especially with point spreads) - this one, i think was right, but that doesn’t mean it was some homerun by any means. I hope you know i don’t think that when i come on here and bitch about the margins.
All reminds me of my favorite book of all time, Fooled By Randomness
Agreed. I call him a “head case” maybe it’s the yips? But whatever it is, as soon as the playoffs hit, he is a shell of his former self
He got his expected point total in a snow game. Made one bad meaningless throw and a fluke fumble in bad conditions.
I don’t even really like Lamar honestly. He’s fine. He’s great. I don’t really root for him (unless i bet on him)
There’s “something” there that causes him to just lose in the playoffs. Maybe it’s will change, but probably not, look in his eyes, he looks like a whipped puppy

I honestly feel bad for Mark. Yeah I lost the bet, but Baltimore fans won’t forget this game ever, even with his hall of fame career
Josh please beat Mahomes! 🙏 😆

All 4 losing teams this wknd outgained the winning team. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Never happened before. Ya can’t cap this shit. You can only think you can. But it ends there.
💯 I fucking hate the chiefs
3 out of the 4 lost the turnover margin.
Hou 0 K.C. 0
Det 5 Wash 0
Rams 2 Philly 0
Balt 3 Buffalo 0
The T.O. margine sure makes a big difference
Lamar is a class act. Used a bunch of profanity in his presser. Lol. But still A class act. And I’m sure he would tell you. Yea. I should have gotten the ball out sooner and thrown it better. Just like Andrew’s would say. If it hits your hands. You gotta catch it.
Pass was late. Short. Low. Andrew’s was running out of real estate and fudged the shit. Watched the replay 20 times.
And yea. He Still should have caught it. I would have. 😉 for should
